Getting Missing dependency errors when compiling with PIO

[JohnLkt]

Hi, sorry for the seemingly stupid question.

I've just installed the FirebaseClient library latest version (1.3.0) via PIO.
I'm using an ESP32 devkit v1 board, and since it's been a while since the last time I wrote anything for that board, I also made sure to run pio pkg update in the project.

unfortunately when compiling these missing dependency errors keep popping up:

I've tried updating / re-installing the ESP dependencies, and the suggested package from the platform IO registry seems wildly unrelated.

right now I'm quite lost on what else should I do to try and fix this, would appreciate the help.

[JohnLkt]

Nevermind, it seems having the package installed but not including anything causes pio to fail building my initial sketch. After I copy and pasted one of the examples it compiled just fine. Sorry for the disturbance

[mobizt]

The library was developed in PlatformIO and test for PlatformIO and Arduino IDEs.

It compiles fine in PlatformIO and the Updater is in the PlatformIO Core package.

Compiling .pio\build\esp32dev\lib163\Update\Updater.cpp.o

The library was run a CI test with PIO CLI before released.

In your case is your ESP32 PlatformIO package installation is not complete.
You have to remove or delete ESP32 PlatformIO package and reinstall.

Update the ESP32 PlatformIO package may not help because you installed the latest package already.

Sorry for re-opening the discussion for an unrelated problem.

I'm unable to get the firestore sync get example to work consistently.

From the logs it seems like I'm having issues with the auth handler

Firebase Client v1.3.0 Initializing app... Event task: task_4, msg: authenticating, code: 7 Debug task: task_4, msg: Connecting to server... Event task: task_4, msg: auth request sent, code: 8 Event task: task_4, msg: error, code: -1 Debug task: task_4, msg: Terminating the server connection... Event task: task_4, msg: authenticating, code: 7 Debug task: task_4, msg: Connecting to server... Event task: task_4, msg: auth request sent, code: 8 Event task: task_4, msg: error, code: -1 Debug task: task_4, msg: Terminating the server connection... Event task: task_4, msg: authenticating, code: 7 Debug task: task_4, msg: Connecting to server... Event task: task_4, msg: auth request sent, code: 8 Event task: task_4, msg: error, code: -1 Debug task: task_4, msg: Terminating the server connection...

this loop of trying to authenticate seems to loop for an unpredictable amount of time, however, when it finally is able to authenticate to Firestore it seems to work reliably.

is there anything I can try to get the authentication to be more reliable? (when using the async get example I'm not getting this issue, however for my specific usecase It would be nice to have the Firestore operations be blocking)

[mobizt]

It's not the library issue.

It is because WiFiClientSecure is unable to connect to the internet.
Fix your network problem instead.

Please read the documentation thoroughly.

[JohnLkt]

I genuinely think my network is fine though. I've tried using my home wifi and my phone as a portable hotspot, it seems to send and receive packets just fine. The async example also doesn't suffer the same issue ( https://github.com/mobizt/FirebaseClient/blob/main/examples/FirestoreDatabase/Documents/Async/Callback/Get/Get.ino) works like a charm.

I would also like to point out that sometimes this error log pops up with the synchronous example code:
[ 9434][E][WiFiGeneric.cpp:1583] hostByName(): DNS Failed for identitytoolkit.googleapis.com

[mobizt]

As I already told you that it is about network problem.

Your device cannot access to googleapis.com for unknown reason.

It depends on many factors you should read the FAQ for known issues.

[JohnLkt]

After further troubleshooting and inspection, I narrowed down the issue to a faulty development board. I'm very sorry for disturbing you. Thank you very much for answering and being patient with me.

[mobizt]

The authentication and authorization process requires internet connection to access to googleais.com.
